The old land marks, note the change
of the defendants from two of the first
settlers in Haverhill the Ladds and
Woodwards. On the Ladd side only
one person in this vicinity bearing the
name of Ladd is living, namely, Hon.
P. w. Ladd of this village. The ia
nous Ladd street in Haverhill once
numbered seventy Ladd souls. Early
in the history of this town the Stevens
family held no unimportant place, a
numerous family of vigorous public
spirited men. Not one remains in
Newbury of that original family to
keep the Stevens name good. The old
Stevens homestead, reclaimed from
the original forests has now passed
into the hands of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Greer. No less an important part in
the affairs of our town and state was
acted by the Kent family. Only two
persons, George Kent and son, remain
living in Newbury, to hold the Kent
name. Now the original Kent estate
having remained in the Kent name
since about 1854, passes into the hands
of Robert Meserve. These facts serve
to refresh our memories and open our
eyes to the facts that a few years
hence we too shall be sleeping the long
sleep, and like our ancestors lie all UNI
conscious awaiting the glad trumpet
sound while the world progresses, and
we are forgotten.
A CARD OF THANKs.-We wish to
return to our neighbOrs and friends
our thanks fer the kindness they show
ed us in turning out and chopping and
hauling our years supply of fire wood,
and also to our lady friends who so
generously came bringing their viands
with them and lending helping hand
in the affairs of the house, for which
we feel very grateful.

Odor of the Chinese Quarters.

After the prenatural activity of the Chi
nese which makes upon the observer the
same impression produced by the study of one
of Dore's sketches of the lost souls of Dante,
forever toiling in the gloom of the neither
world, the next thing that strikes the stranger
is the peculiar odor that fills the air; and that
resembles a combination of bad tobacco
and the pungent fumes from the punk that
the American small boy uses on the Fourth of
July to light his fire crackers. Mingled with
this is the smell of unclean Streets the whole
making combination not easily forgotten.
The Able Huck, who Travelled in China in
native dress, declared that he could readily
deceive the people in regard to his nation
atty, as he spoke the language perfectly, and
as long exposure had stained his skin to
copper color; but the Chinese dogs always
barked at his heels, because they detected the
absence of the national odor. This smell is
due partly to the coolies custom of sleeping
in his clothes, but mainly to the fact that
the constant smoking of opium and tobacco,
and the preparation of food at open fires, sub
iect the dweller in a Chinese house to per-
petual fumigation. Hence the smoky odor
clings to him, and not even the breezes of the
Pacific have power to dislodge lt.-George II.

the entire profits to be devoted to some public
or charitable purpose in which he should not
be interested.
But the device was insufficient to obviate
the difficulty and another secretary was ap-
pointed in his stead. Thus Stewart lost his
chance of becoming a statesman. The presl-
dent could find another secretary OF the treas
ury, but Stewart had no other president to
turn to. He became a plain dry. goods man
again, without place, or power, or public
career. To be so near great position, and
vet to lose it; to be appointed and confirmed,
and even congratulated; TO have made his
arrangements, and, doubtless, determined on
his appointments in advance, and yet to be
dashed down to private life, was hard. But
besides this, Stewart thought that some of
